Medical Malpractice Attorney in Chicago

The damages you may be able to recover will depend on the extent of your injuries and the unique circumstances of your case. That said, some common damages in such cases include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of consortium pain and suffering emotional distress, and, where applicable, punitive damages.

You should contact a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible. Keep in mind that personal injury cases are time-sensitive. In Chicago, for example, you only have two years from the date you discovered the malpractice (or should have discovered it) to take legal action. The sooner you contact the lawyer to handle your case, the better your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome.

Medical malpractice cases are very complex. For example, even before you can file a claim or lawsuit, you must obtain a Certificate of Merit from a licensed healthcare provider or experts to prove that you likely have a case against the defendant. Add that to the fact that you will need evidence to prove your case, which in itself can be challenging to obtain, and you will realize that time is your biggest asset and enemy in your pursuit of compensation.

At Morgan and Morgan, we do not charge any upfront fees to represent our clients. Instead, we work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if we win and obtain a settlement or verdict. In other words, the fee is free unless we win.
